When I have time one weekend, I'm going to put together my first game info thread in a while.

I think I peaked with the Borderlands 2 thread.

I’m still mad at Todd over Fallout 76, but I’m all in on this one.

They just weren't prepared to make that game, at all.


Some former Bethesda people were interviewed and they said one of the biggest issues is when you develop a single player experience, you build the entire world but when you are playing it, all they need to animate is what the player sees. Imagine a big projector screen a few feet from your face and follows you everywhere you look, and that's all the game has to work on at that moment. When you have multiplayer, all of it has to be generated all the time and they had absolutely no experience doing that.


Definite learning experience, and it sounds like they have the game in a good space, but I hope they stick with single player moving forward

No one is anti Todd or anti Bethesda. They’ve made some of the GOATs. They have clearly bitten off way too much here though. There wil be say 6-7 bespoke highly curated story planets where main and big events and side events take place. There will be the best ideas from games they didn’t produce in Sci fi like no man’s sky etc, and they’ll ad that to their outdated shitty first person shooting system and brand of rpg mechanics.

I’d the base building and ship building is truly dynamic and has all kinds of freedom and possible things then those themselves wil become an almost art house sub game. The AI generated chalice dungeon galaxy ain’t it though chief

I predict a perfectly passable bankable mehish game. Not hitting the highs of Fall out 3 or New vegas (yes i know ibsion did that) but not being near as fallen as fall out 4 or 76. Xbox is hurting bad they havent out out shite in like 2 years. They dont need the next BOTW or elden ring or genre changing shite, they need a masses accepting bankable title

Yeah, I don't know. Maybe they tried to shoehorn the Fallout 4 engine into a online MP game. 76 was originally a MP mode for Fallout 4 but they stripped it out and made it it's own game.

I think that's exactly what they did

I've played that game off and on for 4 years and you can tell it's all of the same assets from Fallout 4. It wasn't improved much graphically, mechanically, etc. The online parts are the things that break the game (desync, long load times for shared things, etc)

I can see why it ended up the way it did, even though I feel like I got my money's worth out of it.

It's specific to the player IMO. I loved the base building in FO4, so it was right up my alley to find cool places to build my camp.

However, if that doesn't interest someone and they want super long story lines, then this isn't the game.

I have no idea if it pulled a no mans sky over years and became an actual functioning product maybe even a quality one. Its fricking hilarious to see you up in this thread white knighting for fall out fricking 76 one of if not the worst game launces of all time. A clearly hardly worked on level build put together of the game with tossed in leftover assets from all other Ips including skyrim dragons were just thrown in i mean why the frick not. Stupid people, like you in this case, will always provide money for a major brand through in game sales even if they make the shittiest most broken shameless caash grab of all time full of todds lies it should have sunk them.

All of this to say is a whole bunch of fricking awful shite built on and sometimes still using the shadiest most corrupt business ethics rolls in scrooge mcduck piles of money. Not a good point to make if youre wanting to stick up for the picked on worst game of all time.

Lol it’s not Broken English just because you’re in the cult of Bethesda it’s not something I’d produce for work or college but none of it is bad or off or anything out of line for a message board.

Being right about how they have fricked up and likely will make this mediocre isn’t an adderal fueled rant it’s completely rational it’s just 2 paragraphs full of stuff you’re unable to comprehend or believe because as I said, you’re still to be deprogrammed.

I’m not anti Bethesda maybe anti Todd little liar. Bethesda has made some of the best games of all time but all of that good will is gone and their entire brand future and money is gambled on a project vastly more expansive in scope and aim than an janky asset fillip they couldn’t even get to run

If you’d cut back on the run-on sentences and try using punctuation once in awhile you might get somewhere.

The last bethesda game I played was fallout 4 so I’m not sure where you’re getting this “cult of bethesda” stuff.

You’re still kinda shitting on bethesda even after saying you aren’t. I don’t know if I’d go so far as to say they’ve lost all their goodwill just based on FO76. Their single player games have been a lot of fun despite the jank. I can’t speak to any of the multiplayer ones. Starfield is going back to single player so myself and others in this thread are looking forward to it. Skyrim was vastly more expansive in scope and aim than anything they did previously and that turned out to be one of the GOATs so there isn’t much reason for all the hyperbole

Who’s Fillip?
